Bahrain has been urged to ‘do a Bogotá’ and make the kingdom a safe haven for a couple of hours each week for cycling enthusiasts removing the risk of them being seriously injured or killed on the roads.
The call comes from businessman and community activist David Axtell who first highlighted the need for cycling safety in Bahrain back in 2010 in a community campaign spearheaded by the GDN’s sister newspaper, Gulf Weekly .
